"During Veterans' Week, we pay tribute to all Canadian Veterans and we
continue to recognize the sacrifices and achievements of the men and
women in uniform who serve Canada," said Minister Blaney. "We remember
significant milestones of the First World War that are part of our
proud military heritage: Passchendaele, the Battle of the Somme and the
Battle of Vimy Ridge. Throughout these battles, regiments from across
the country saw action together and helped create a new and stronger
sense of Canadian identity."

"Vimy Ridge will forever hold an important place in the history of
Canada and in the hearts and minds of Canadians. Canada, as a young
nation, fought and triumphed over adversity," said Minister Blaney.
"Today, we mark the heroic efforts of those who fought for freedom on
Vimy Ridge. We pay tribute to our proud history and we honour those who
continue to serve Canada."

Veterans' Week is a time when all Canadians come together to honour
those who have sacrificed so much to make our world a safer place. This
Veterans' Week, take time to remember by attending a Remembrance Day ceremony, visiting a local cenotaph or
monument, sharing your thoughts of remembrance online, or wearing a
poppy with pride. For more information about the Canadian "Take time to
